Yesterday i purchased a new swiftech 462 hs and fan (kickass cooler but loud) for my system (epox 8kha+, athlon 1800+ xp, mushkin pc2100 ram, windows xp pro) and decided to bump my fsb to 150 and everything worked fine, even managed to run looped timedemos of quake 2. However, when I decided to use my floppy disk, the drive failed to access it. I then tried another disk and got the same error. I figured I must've corrupted my windows installation so I rebooted with a startup disk and promptly received a "failed system i/o error" or something to that extent. I thought perhaps I had a bad disk and created another boot disk on my laptop but got the same error again. I then switched the floppy cables with new ones and got the same message again. Next I removed the floppy drive itself and replaced it w/another and the problem was still there. Lucky for me I have my fry's warranty so I exchanged my MB and floppy drive today and installed a new copy of xp. Bumped my fsb to 150 again (tempation was too great) and everything seemed fine, but quake 2 crashed after a few timedemos and i got a bsod 
Anyway, backed my system down to 133 fsb again and everything works fine. Anyone else have a MB/floppy drive die on them before from OC'ing or was this just a case of bad luck?
